m: "Henry" wrote in I want to be enlightened!!! Please give my ex a spreadsheet, and supply me with the monthly receipts and a printout. I'll cut her slack on some of the bills, some of the mortgage, food and even captial expenditures like a bed and a dresser. After that, though, I want a refund for the overpayment. Fair enough? Play it the other way, what if your child came to live with you? You're already paying rent or a mortgage and utilities, so the child doesn't cost you anything there. Not much extra to put another plate on the table for Breakfast and Dinner. Half the time you throw away excess food anyway or just bag it for lunch the next day, so again the child is no extra burden. So the real cost of feeding a child is the lunch cost? You already pack your own lunch, so what does it cost to throw in a piece of Fruit, a sandwich, desert pack and carton of milk? This is what I ate when my parents packed my lunch!!!! Clothes, how many pairs of jeans and shoes can you buy in one month? How did my immigrant parents ever raise us 3 kids on one blue collar salary? They sure as hell didn't have a $800 dollar CS check coming in every month to help them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know fully how most childrens day-to-day costs are basically absorbed into your own. But, they do drink a lot of milk, go through a loaf of bread like crazy, spend time in baths, etc. So there is a cost. A real cost. I do agree that most houses come with rooms for "free". I have yet to see a one bedroom house in this day and age. It is a system beyond comprehension. Honestly, it makes my head hurt. H. |

wrote in that really a way to calculate it without doing an economic study on the child in question, which is time-consuming. My father coudl have giveb you an econmic study in 3o seconds! Take the cost of a loaf of bread and multiply it by 4 for the month! LOL. |

"Henry" wrote in message 7.142... wrote in news:1131520363.905872.44500 @g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: snip I have often thought that CS should go into a 3rd party-runned bank account. Perhaps that would be a better use of the FRO (Ontario's CS office)... but, anyway. Both parents contribute based on their incomes. Receipts are turned in, and a cheque (refund) issued. It would be better if their was a debit card or something. Each parent could only spend up to a certain limit. Large items get dispursed over many months. Oh? Suppose they aren't BILLED over many months - perfect example, my child was injured by another student, and the bills are mounting - hospital, CAT scans, x-Rays, dentist, doctor and counselling to deal with the aftermath - Think all those health care providers will agree that a parent can only spend up to a certain limit? At the end of a time period, or limit, the unused funds are rolled into the Child's RESP. But, this will never fly. Why? Becuase in Canada the role of CS is to equal the SOL of each house. Since the CP does not get the money, this bank account would, techincally their SOL could be lower and the politicians will not allow that. Better to give the CP money hand over fist, mainly from the NCP, than to actually make people work for a living. H. |

In Canada, medical is free.... but... ....those expenses are considered "extraordinary expenses" (Section 7.0 of our CS guidelines) that are covered above and beyond the CS payments. Extra expenses are a loosely defined list of about 100 things, depending on the judge and the mood of the court that day. It for sure covers daycare, school, medical, but can also include lessons, pocket lint, gum... just about everything. So, that kind of extra expense would be added into the pot. If the bills were $5000, that costs would be split based on incomes and added to the account above the regular CS payment. Since it already does under the current (Canada) guidelines... or the account could pay the bill since there will be money in it. I have no issue covering real special costs (especially medical) above the CS amount. H. |

I'd ask if everything is ok, but obviously, it's not. I hope there is no permanent damage. Was this a purposeful injury, or an accident? |

We're not quite sure how or why it happened - she was walking down the hall to her class, he came up in her face (this is shown on the security video), she brushed him aside and continued on her way (this is shown on the video), he turned, chased her down and shoved her from behind. She turned, stood her ground, he shoved her down once, she got up again, some more pushing, and he clocked her. According to the local constabulary, it's being referred to the DA for charging. Meanwhile, we wait, and try to deal with it all - the latest is that the inside of her cheek is infected, from where her teeth cut into it when he punched her. Me, I'm grateful he didn't have a weapon, or it could have been so so much worse. Thanks, Teach - it's been a tough couple of weeks, but little by little, we're getting back to some semblance of normal - the bruises on her face are almost gone... |
